Two Polish youngsters have come up with a business idea which they think is a winner in these times of economic crisis

They have opened a bar in the coastal town of Cullera in Valencia, Spain, where they invite the clients to insult the waiters and barmen. The idea is you can go for a drink and get things off your chest by shouting expletives at the staff instead of your family at home.

Bernard Mariusz and Michal Lotocki, say that if the insults are ‘original and fun’ they will give the client a free drink.

Early signs are the bar is a success, with the clients generally insulting the staff in Spanish, Polish, French and Romanian, but some locals have voiced opposition to the idea with one telling the EFE news agency that ‘what begins with an insult often ends up in violence’.
